Description
This is a shorter problem near the great highball V2. The crux revolves around a difficult first move to gain access to the larger holds just above the smallish bulge. Although not as continuous as the V2 to the right, it still offers some fun moves on great rock.
Mayer & Moret describe this one as E2.5, "I found a new (?) line on the north arête of that large boulder; a beautiful, clean line, with a hard start right below a small ledge with a bit of grass; start with a strong but low right sidepull and a very high (you need to be at least 5'9" to have any chance) left crimper (sharp!); move your feet to two good footholds and throw for the jug on the ledge; mantle and finish up the easy top part of the arête; V3-ish if you are over 5'9", at least V6 otherwise."
